Family Christmas- Part II

And finally some pics from our visit up at Mimi's cabin. We were only able to visit for a few days, but it's always fun to stay at the cabin even for a short time. We did a night of Christmas gifts, games, playing out on the lake, hiking, and just hanging out. Good times!

Grandpa Zan reading a card with Elin.

Nate was SO excited about the Wii Star Wars, and he's done a pretty good job with it since.

Mark was in from Idaho- great to see you Mark!

And Mary was up from Purdue- great to see you, too!

April with some cool new pottery.

Elin turns into a sort of crazy goofball when she gets excited around family (Nate, too, for that matter), so here's some of her goofiness...



Aunt Mishay and Aunt Mary became very popular with Elin... all she wanted to do was hang out with them and sit in their laps.

I was very impressed with the kids... they survived a 1.5 mile hike through the forest. Great job kiddos!

There were a few snowball fights along the way...

and toward the end when legs were getting tired, they resorted to rolling down the hills. Hey, whatever works! Afterwards it was hot pizza and hot chocolate for lunch.


Zan put some deer feed on the driveway, and one morning we found 11 deer chowing down.

Aunt Mary and Mishay were big helpers decorating princess crowns with Elin...

And here are the princesses!
